' Wrote:When you are cloaked and the enemy fires a Cruisedisruptor can it target you? Meaning while you are Cloaked can the enemy just fire Missles and then see where they go and then know your location?


' Wrote:No, it can't target you, but it can hit you (like any other weapon, as you're still solid), the same way you can accidentally hit NPC's even when you don't aim at them.
Also, blindly firing can be used to know your location.


' Wrote:Cloaking device is useless, atm.

First, it needs some time charge, and during this time you have no shield.

If you are cloaked the H-Fuel will run out fast.

and Second.

If you deactivate the cloak, you have for a small time no shield. So 20 or 30 seconds.

Which is enough time to burn you down.

Edit:
You have no CMs, ergo a beautiful target for a single Cruiser/BS Missile.

I had to check the date when i read these things. It wasn't an aprils fools joke. Why go through so much trouble, both developing these things and then for players, who put in massive efforts to get... what? 20 seconds of cloaking at the cost of... I don't even wanna think about that. And to find out that you're not safe from CD's and other missiles... What were you thinking? Did the Dev team go... "Duh, let's make some stuff that cost a lot and make a cool lightshow!" In that case I have some news! We already had that option. It's called Pimp-ship, and only costs 2 mill.

I read somewhere that this was supposed to increase RP. How? People have even less time to RP now, since they have to spend hours and hours hauling stuff to build their gadgets. And that doesn't even count for the hours needed to supply these credit-sucking black holes. I was considering building a base myself, but seeing now that the things these bases produce are more or less useless... Then what's the point?

' Wrote:So. I felt like letting people before the start shoving money/time/materials and friendships in it.
Nothing is worth the trouble. Don't try Friendly warning.

Pretty much useless trash taking cargo space.
Edit:
(...) Useless trash taking -ALL - your cargo hold (...)
These words are well worth considering before building a base. Sure... In the beginning it's all new, exciting and fun. But what happens after a month? 6 months? A year? The bases will need supplies 24/7. They never close. Are these groups of friends that once pulled together to get that shiny base still willing to do what it takes to supply that base day in and day out? One day, they'll wake up and realize that this isn't relaxing and fun anymore. It's become a burden! Something you HAVE to do!

I made some calculations on daily supplies for the base I was planning to build. I've optimized the supply lines as much as I could in order to have very short and cheap supplyroutes. I still land somewhere around 5-6 working hours to haul this. EVERY DAY! Costs for this would be approx 15-20 million SC. If you do this the RP-way instead, and hire a shipping company for it, they'll wanna make a profit. The time you managed to free is suddenly eaten by the fact that you have to trade or mine yourself, just to pay for these transports. And for those who built their bases way out in the Edge worlds... I don't even wanna think about that!

BALANCE! That's the keyword here. It's unreasonable for these gadgets to have such a limited impact given the cost of creating them. I don't mind that it requires a lot of stuff to build and create stuff, but the amount of supplies used every day could be reduced a lot. If not, maybe the transports could get increased cargospace. Our 5k transports could be buffed into 10k transports. Or open up the possibilty to buy a Barge at a dealer.
